    Alan Irvine is their manager, ex PNE and SW who was the Everton academy manager.

    Their boards will be in meltdown! Shocking appointment.
    On the other hand, its excellent for us, we just have to finish able Burnley WBA and one other.

    Just seen that his only two jobs were to relegate both teams to L1, literally everyone on their forums makes me look like a happy clapy, not one post was remotely positive.
    Their chairman also got rid of the stripes too.

    Why dont you post the OP on the WBA board Flyer.
    More negative relegation crap before the season has started.

    No - of course not. It's 2 months before the season even starts!

    I like Irvine. I watched his Wednesday side a lot. A quiet, pensive and deeply thoughtful bloke. I think he will do well.

    He relegated them and had them in 12th in L1 and got sacked.
    He's a bad manager for the champ, never mind the PL.
    Its a Paul hart level appointment.

    Why don't you look behind the headlines?

    He was manager at Weds when the club were skint and up for sale. No money for players at all. He did well to keep them up until the last game of the season.

    He's no way as bad as you're speculating although granted he's no SAF.

    He's a solid bloke I reckon he could do ok at WBA

    2 jobs, 2 teams who arent minnows relegated into L1. Hes been out of management for years.

    Never managed a PL game in his life. Who on earth is going to want to sign for him? As I said, its a Paul Hart/Steve Wigley level appointment, they took 5 weeks to appoint him and buried the announcement until the day of the england game.

    Put it this way, is there anyone who would be happy with him at QPR right now?

    Obviously the terms and conditions offered ( $$$ ) was not enough to catch a better manager so let's face it, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys ......... or in this case, a manager from the lower leagues.

    Can only be the reason Clark passed on it.

    No doubt the same OPer said Steve Clark was a shocking appointment when they gave him his first ever Managerial job at near 50 years of age.

    As Queenslander says, let's concentrate on our own team, the Baggies situation will look clearer once the season starts...

    Every bookies had the odds drop yesterday. So they think they are closer to relegation now than they were before they appointed him.

    Personally i aint bothered about the Baggies or anybody else in the "relegation battle" , i am only concerned about us and us alone.
    Whatever happens, happens and so long as we come out the other end of the season above the bottom 3 i will be happy and to hell with the bookies and their get rich quick schemes on who the favourites are for relegation etc.:steam:
